Kava Kava Even though there have been many attempts to synthesize a pharmaceutical drug out of one or more of the
derivatives, it has been shown that the herb's activity depends on the naturally-occurring blend of all six kava lactones to gain its potency. In addition to Kava's calming effect, studies have shown that it reduces anxiety, aids
sleep, relieves pain (muscle aches, tension headaches, toothaches, sore throats), soothes menstrual cramps and menopausal problems.
Kava Kava has been used in the South Pacific for its calming euphoric effect for centuries. Village elders use it ceremonially to help communication among them, because of the calming
meditative state that it delivers. Kava Kava has the added benefit of not becoming addictive or abusive to the liver like alcohol. Unlike synthetic tranquilizers or alcohol, Kava leaves the user with an alert mind, enhancing one's
ability to communicate while sharpening the senses. It also does not produce unpleasant hangovers the next morning.
History
Captain James Cook, in the account of
his voyage to the South Pacific in 1768, first described the ceremonial use of an intoxicating drink called Kava. Although its primary use is ceremonial and social, it is also widely recognized by natives for its application in
medicine as a diuretic and soporific, and as an aid for relaxing into hypnosis. It has been used to relax muscles, and soothe aches, sore throats, gout, rheumatism, bronchitis, menstrual cramps and menopausal symptoms.
